Last week in Te Ngahere we did a pizza problem. We were learning how to use a range of strategies to solve problems using fractions. We had to figure out how many seats were in the restaurant. Our fraction was ¾ so first we drew our restaurant and split it into 4 because we knew that the bottom number of a fraction is how many you split it into. Next we coloured in 3 because three quarters of the seats were taken then we were left with ¼ which equaled 6 so we did 6+6+6+6=24, and our answer was 24 so there were 24 seats in the whole restaurant.
Are you good at fractions?
